* Inverted in ''[[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Flash Gordon]]''. Mongo was a big, extremely multivaried place. Then again—at least in the early days of the comic and most TV & film adaptations—the main characters are stranded on Mongo and ''can't'' visit other planets, so it makes sense for Mongo itself to be portrayed as a richly diverse world. |

The latter was sent to a location where they could observe a certain unexpected astronomical event, while the former was, presumably, dropped within walking distance (or maybe [[Death World|getting eaten distance]]) of a Starfleet base, with no reason whatsoever for the two locations to be anywhere near each other—apart from the [[Theory of Narrative Causality]], of course. Lampshaded in the novel adaptation. |

* In ''[[Honey, I Shrunk the Kids]]'', two characters are picked up by a bee, flown all around the yard which to them is now 3-miles long, and conveniently dropped off not far from the others. "[[Pun|It's a small world after all]]", indeed. |
